Why Choose Baby Ferns?

Baby ferns offer a range of benefits for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Their compact size makes them easy to plant in containers, terrariums, or small garden spots where larger plants won’t fit. Ferns naturally purify the air and thrive in low-light, high-humidity environments, making them excellent houseplants for bathrooms, kitchens or shaded patios.

Popular Baby Fern Varieties

We offer a hand-picked selection of baby ferns for sale, including some of New Zealand’s favourite fern species:

Asplenium bulbiferum (Hen And Chicken Fern): Beloved for its delicate, arching fronds that can self-propagate new plants from tiny bulbils, making it a joy to watch grow.
Davallia solida (Rabbits Foot Fern): Known for its soft, feathery foliage and furry “rabbit’s foot” rhizomes that creep over the edge of its pot.
Doodia aspera (Prickly Rasp Fern): Characterised by its stiff, upright fronds with a beautiful pinkish tinge when young.
Doodia australis (Rasp Fern): A hardy fern with glossy, deep green fronds and a compact growth habit, ideal for borders or underplanting.
